Emperor's Stand-in: My physique improves a little bit every day

The Daning Dynasty implemented the system of three officials and six ministries. The three officials were the prime minister, the general, and the inspector.

The six ministries were the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Works, which were quite similar to the previous life.

The inspector was mainly responsible for supervising all officials and supervising the emperor, but the inspector alone could not do this.

So the inspector also governed a small department called the Supervisory Department. Although there were only a few hundred people, it caused headaches for both the court and the people, including the emperors of Daning.

The officials in the Supervisory Department were divided into the Remonstrance Doctor and the Imperial Censor Doctor. The Remonstrance Doctor was responsible for supervising the emperor and pointing out the emperor's mistakes.

The Imperial Censor Doctor was responsible for supervising all officials and pointing out the mistakes made by all officials. If they did not listen, they could complain to the emperor.

The one who was making noise outside at this moment was Wei Shangang, the Remonstrance Doctor under the inspector, who was also the most stubborn one among dozens of Remonstrance Doctors.

Regarding the matter of making friends with the Shanman tribe, all the civil and military officials in the court had no objection, but only Wei Shangang always made a fuss about the Shanman invasion and demanded severe punishment of the Shanman tribe.

In addition, there were other things that Ning Zhongyu didn't care about, but Wei Shangang often brought them up for admonition, and did not show any mercy to Ning Zhongyu, the current emperor, and often made him lose face.

If it weren't for Wei Shangang's loyalty, amazing talent for cultivation, and being a mid-level master at the age of 35, he would have been beaten down long ago.

As a thorn in the court, Cao Wenzheng specifically ordered the eunuchs and guards not to allow Wei Shangang to come and disturb Lu Changjing's cultivation.

But I don't know how Wei Shangang got through the layers of checkpoints and came to the outside of the imperial study, clamoring and admonishing about the Shanman invasion.

However, it is early spring now, and the Shanman tribe is short of food, and they will indeed invade the Great Ning Dynasty to plunder some food.

This kind of thing is very common. Even if Princess Changping married into the Shanman tribe, such looting could not be completely avoided.

In Ning Zhongyu's opinion, as long as there is no war, it's okay to suffer a little loss.

Regarding this matter, Cao Wenzheng specifically told Lu Changjing and told him not to pay attention.

Although Lu Changjing did not agree with this view, in his opinion, Ning Zhongyu did this mainly because he was afraid of delaying his practice.

Since Ning Zhongyu ascended the throne, whenever he encountered similar things, he would reconcile if he could, try not to start a war as much as possible, and even be willing to sacrifice the interests of the Great Ning Dynasty for this.

In his heart, practice has always been the first priority, and everything else is external. The reason why he became the emperor of the Great Ning Dynasty is mainly to obtain more resources for practice.

People inside and outside the court think that he is forbearing and waiting for the day when he steps into the realm of gods and demons, so that he can wipe out all the demons and monsters.

But in Lu Changjing's view, this is clearly selfish. For his own practice, whether it is the civil and military officials in the court or the three palaces and six courtyards, or even the entire Daning Dynasty, they are just tools for him to use.

Even if it is for forbearance, the strength of the Shanman tribe is far inferior to that of the Daning Dynasty. Why should he forbear? Isn't this an opportunity for others to take advantage of him?

In the final analysis, he is afraid of delaying his practice, because once he goes to war with the Shanman tribe, he will need to spend a lot of time and energy on this, and he will not be able to practice with peace of mind.

It is said that the marriage with the Shanman tribe was proposed by Ning Zhongyu himself, and Princess Changping is his biological sister, the kind of siblings from the same mother.

With the help of the marriage, Ning Zhongyu quelled the Shanman rebellion and consolidated his position as the crown prince, and then he was able to ascend the throne.

He was so cruel to his own sister, which shows what kind of person Ning Zhongyu is.

But under the whitewashing of the court and the people, Ning Zhongyu became a good emperor who was perseverant and forgiving, and a draft could attract millions of girls to sign up.

But they didn't know that hidden under the gorgeous appearance was a cold-blooded executioner.

Over the years, because of Ning Zhongyu's forbearance, the Great Ning Dynasty lost countless resources and population, which was definitely an astronomical figure.

However, even if he didn't like Ning Zhongyu's behavior, he was just a substitute now, so he could only watch and could do nothing.

For Wei Shangang's advice outside, just listen to it.

After more than half an hour of noise, Wei Shangang was driven away by Cao Wenzhen who heard the news. During the period, he did not forget to come over and warn Lu Changjing a few words, asking him not to make decisions on major matters without authorization.

Otherwise, if it can't be ended, or if someone notices something unusual, he will have to use his head to make up for it.

Lu Changjing could do nothing but agree.

After Cao Wenzhen left, Lu Changjing continued to read the memorials with some depression.

"Your Majesty, I'm here."

Fortunately, at this time, his love Tan Qingyun came again.

Her eyes were rolling and she smiled.

Wearing a golden hairpin, with tassels hanging down, shining with dazzling brilliance.

Wearing a green feather gauze, her skin is as white as snow, exuding a faint fragrance, as if an orchid is blooming.

As soon as she saw Lu Changjing, she threw herself lightly into his arms and buried her head in his chest: "Your Majesty, don't pay attention to Wei Zhenggang. He is always like this, without any mercy. Everyone hates him."

It turned out that he was comforting him. Lu Changjing hugged Tan Qingyun's soft and fragrant body: "I know, I won't take this matter to heart."

"Yeah." Tan Qingyun nodded her little head and moved her pink lips closer...

Half an hour later, Lu Changjing hugged Tan Qingyun: "Qingyun, do you know how the eldest...royal sister is doing in the mountain barbarians?"

"This..." Tan Qingyun bit her lips, not knowing whether to say it.

Lu Changjing pinched her: "Tell me, I didn't dare to understand before, but I can't always be an ostrich, burying my head in the sand and pretending to know nothing."

"Sister Wan didn't live well in the Shanman tribe." Tan Qingyun said carefully: "The Shanman tribe has barbaric rules and likes to eat raw flesh and blood. Even the mountain king's Khatun and Yanshi have to eat it. Sister Wan must not be used to it."

"And... and it is said that after the old Shanwang died, the young Shanwang inherited his wives and concubines, including Sister Wan. Such barbaric things are only found in the barbarians."

The implication is that Ning Yuwan, who was born in a country of etiquette, could not accept such a thing that disregarded human relations. She must have lived a life worse than death in the Shanman tribe.

Lu Changjing was silent, and had a better understanding of Ning Zhongyu's cruelty.

Even his own sister could be treated like this, let alone him as a substitute.

Lu Changjing no longer had any illusions that Ning Zhongyu and Cao Wenzheng would let him go.

Whether it was for the concubines in the harem or for the vast territory of the Great Ning Dynasty, he would fight to the death.
